That sucks, I’ll probably pass on this because of that. Was really looking forward to ESO but man it just keeps sounding more and more like a boring typical MMO than an MMO worthy of the Elder Scrolls franchise.

Hey! You never know what they may add. The isn’t finished yet and I thought I heard somewhere that they’re trying to add it into the game? I dunno, but even so, you have to think of the bug picture. It’ll be difficult to do first person while having a battle with loads of other people.

It’s not difficult in other MMOs…and either way it should always be an option. And no, I’m not talking about zooming the camera into your head, I mean real first-person with arms and weapons and animations and all that.

Give a break Morrowind,Oblivion paved the way for Skyrim.Ill agree Fallout3 style was in grained inthe making of Skyrim .But these games maybe crap in your book but they are some of the best and imagitive games of there generation .They are freaking alwsome and I will always love These games .As far as what epic mess ESO is the buyers will tell the tale of what the communtythinks within ES .thank you .

If FPS MMO games like PlanetSide 2 are possible then it is possible to do a MMO game worthy of calling The Elder Scrolls, unfortunately, from what i’ve seen, the gameplay will be like other MMORPG games (point and click) but if the good old TES exploration system is in it, maybe it will be worthy calling a TES game.

Look at indie games like Darkfall Unholy Wars or Mortal Online, they do first-person fantasy combat that’s totally real time. Aim your bow, aim your spells, time your swings, etc. Darkfall is more fast-paced and arcadey while mortal is more slow-paced and deliberate (kinda like Mount and Blade).
